Common questions in Swallow
Who enforces food labelling in Lincolnshire?
Supplement labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for Lincolnshire, overseen nationally by the Food Standards Agency. If you want assured advice, you can set up a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Is this the same as Trading Standards advice?
No. Trading Standards for Lincolnshire enforce labelling law; we give an independent practical check before you print.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Swallow?

Do you only work with Swallow businesses?
